Ingredients (serves 4):
For the blintzes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use a non-stick pan to cook the blintzes.
- Use a spatula to flip the blintzes carefully to avoid tearing them.
- Let the blintzes cool for a few minutes before adding the filling to avoid melting the cheese.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift up. Flip the blintz and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped pecans, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each blintz and roll it up.
5. In a small saucepan, heat the chopped pecans and maple syrup over low heat until the pecans are toasted and the syrup is warm.
6. Drizzle the pecan maple syrup over the blintzes and serve.
